What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I have been enjoying the content of this podcast from the range of topics, to the depth of data to the relatability of passion in the presenters for the experience on the patients. I just wanted to comment on the dialogue regarding APPs not being trained well enough to manage this population: I think that is a discredit to the APPs who have sought and completed the appropriate training. As we know medical school and residency does not adequately cover the physiology, symptom profile, management options or co-morbidity risk & prevalence for patients in this stage of life. There are many APPs who have dedicated themselves to the evolving evidence regarding this field who are more qualified than some MDs who lack the experience, training or compassion in this field. I recommend researching the profile of the clinician you are interested in and establishing with someone who you feels listens to you, validates your experiences, clearly explains options and participates in shared decision making that is crafted with your particular needs and health factors at the center of the conversation - can be MD, DO, NP, PA. We are all accountable to certifying and licensing boards and continue to care for the best interest of our patients.

I’m a physician and a m learning stuff I’ve never heard before. I would recomend this podcast for every person with ovaries, a uterus, or “female” levels of estrogen. I would really love to hear more about nutrition in perimenopause. I know it’s important but I don’t know what to focus on.

This is a terrific podcast for women in perimenopause. I am learning so much from Dr. Voedisch and her colleague!
